I would like to say ‘Well done!’ to Sophie in Grade 7 and Anna in Grade 6 who are the first two students to have completed every single ICT activity this year.
They have learnt about blogging, embedding into posts and sidebars and are both a great help to other students who might have troubles using the technology tools.
As other students complete their work over the next few weeks, I will add a link to their blogs on this post.
Well done – Sophie, Anna, Alanna, Daniel, Maddie, David, Lucy, Robert, Jasper, Matthew, Skye.

Every few weeks I will be including a post about book reviews or film reviews or game reviews written by our students. As I also read lots of other student blogs, occasionally I will include a review from them.
Perhaps you could leave a comment here if you have also read or watched the books, films or games mentioned. Do you agree with what the reviewers have said?
Books
Films
Games – hints and reviews

These students will be having conversations with students and classes around the world.

They will be creating videos, conducting surveys and designing comics all as part of the activities in the 2010 student blogging challenge.

Many students at our school love reading and they have been writing some fantastic book reviews. If you love crime, horror, mystery, romance or adventure, then check out these recommendations by your peers.
Is there a book you would like to recommend other students read?
Mention the name and author of the book in a comment at this post, or else write your own book review as a post on your blog. Maybe you could use a Voki to make the book review.
